There is only 1 player who has struck out more than 2000 times...and Reggie Jackson is that man with 2,597 K's. His career batting average was .262.

There are people out there who do not think Rafael Palmeiro is a hall of famer or is borderline at best...compare (through 6/12)...

Palmeiro beats him across the board (except HR's for now...Raffy ain't done yet). Reggie Jackson is one of the most overrated players of all-time...homeruns aren't everything. I believe Palmeiro is a hall-of-famer, but I think Reggie falls short.

Nobody is saying Raffy shouldn't be in the hall are they? Are you familiar with the HOF Standards? Well, you might want to be before you start spouting off that Mr. October shouldn't be in the hall of fame. As Michael Jackson would say... "That's ignorant! That's just ignorant!".
